It's official (Verizon) - Anyone care if I post pictures at RGO?
Ray, you can thank Andrew Cuomo in NY for this problem. He bullied the ISPs
until they caved. Here's a thought: What if we, in this discussion, go ahead and post OPs to rgo, and include photos? See what happens. Maybe they'll get stripped, maybe not. I'll post one later, and be the first to brave the wrath of Fournier, who somehow manages to pop up any time someone defies the rules! Diana "Pat Brennan" wrote in message ng.com... I have always thought RGO would flow better if you could post pictures to it. Besides Mick, the problem is a lot of the news servers strip binaries posted to non binaries groups. I do not know many do it, but I think it is currently a fair percent and growing. A year and a half ago my ISP stopped all newsgroup service. My ISP which is the local phone company is the only option for DSL in the county and in addition the phone company makes it very hard for other companies to even offer dialup across its lines. Switching ISP was not an option. I tried various free news server options and was not happy with any. I ended paying for the service and have been very happy with the service. They bill my credit card once a year so I only get ****ed once a year. All and all I think news groups are a thing of the past, unless you want to download music, movies, porn, or orchid stuff. At some point the RGO and ABPO community may have to migrate to another type of host. Pat |
